•When the camera detects multiple faces (up to five faces), the face displayed largest in the monitor is framed by a double border and the others by single borders.

BNotes About Pet Portrait Scene Mode

•Digital zoom cannot be used.

•Depending on the distance of the pet from the camera, the speed of the pet’s movement, the direction the pet is facing, the ambient brightness of the pet’s face, etc., the camera may not be able to detect the pet’s face, or other subjects may be framed by a border.

CViewing Images Taken Using Pet Detection

In full-frame playback mode, if you enlarge an image by rotating the zoom control to g(i), the image is enlarged so that the detected face is displayed at the center of the monitor.

If the camera detected multiple faces when the image was taken, you can tap M or N to display a different face. Once you change the zoom ratio, you will be able to zoom in on an area of the image where there are no faces.
